We have been waiting for the right weather to take our annual kayak paddle across Lake George from the Ticonderoga Beach to Roger's Rock. Yesterday morning was it, with a light north wind becoming glassy calm.
We headed across to Windmill Point at the southern end of Heart Bay, although the windmill no longer has its blades. Somewhere near where I took this photo, is the underwater remains of the wreck of the Ticonderoga that burned and sank in 1901. The water is so clear and we keep looking for it, but never seem to find anything. Our neighbor and Dave have decided to go dive and find it next summer.
The leaves were starting to show their colors as we approached the shoreline along Roger's Rock and Slide. There were two rock climbers that were getting ready to ascend the slide, but they were still in prep mode, so we didn't watch them very long.
It was such a spectacular morning and although it was about 65 degrees in and out of the water, Dave couldn't resist one last swim of the season. Not only did he dive once into the water that is really deep to shore, but he did it three times!
If by some chance we don't get to go out again, we definitely ended this summer on a high note!
